Thanks for checking out LibrisLog 🙌
This started as a personal project after I struggled to recover my own reading data from an app that was no longer usable. That experience pushed me toward building something where data portability and self-hosting are first-class goals.
I’m especially curious about one thing:
How do you currently manage your reading history (if at all), and what’s missing from the tools you’ve tried?
Also happy to dive into any technical questions about the stack (SvelteKit, FastAPI, SQLite), self-hosting setup, or design decisions around imports and data ownership.
Appreciate any feedback — this is very much an early, evolving project.
